Credit Risk

Protect your business from non-payment of commercial debt. Ensure that your invoices are paid, therefore allowing you to reliably manage the political and commercial risks of trade, resulting in safer and more strategic accounts receivable management.

Political Violence

Terrorism and political violence insurance cover an insured against physical loss and damage, as well as business interruption costs, as a result of a terrorist act or acts, or political violence. Political violence includes riots, strikes, civil commotion, revolution, war, civil war, rebellion, insurrection, sabotage, coup d’état and malicious damage, and consequential looting. With plenty of capacity in the market, security and price are key drivers. Our clients are carefully guided through the reasoning and in assessing their exposures.

Crisis Management

Under Crisis management coverage the types of events that may be covered include workplace violence, assault, firearm use, food contamination, and workplace accidents. Events may also include credit card breaches or the hacking of a company’s computer network by an outside party. The coverage may be triggered if news of the event is covered by the media, whether in regional forums or national forums. Coverage will typically apply for a set period of time after a crisis event occurs.
